Instructions For Use

A Fitting &removing the parts

1. Place the housing base on a ﬂat, dry, stable surface.

2. Place the work bowl over the motor base with the handle facing forward and positioned

slightly to the left of the control panel (the bowl will slot onto the base).

3. Turn the bowl in an anticlockwise direction until it locks into position on the housing

base.

N.B. The work bowl must be securely locked into position. The bowl will be in the

correct position once the handle is central to the control panel.

4. Carefully lift the blade assembly, holding the central plastic stem and place over the

motor spindle. Push the blade down until it clicks into place. The lower part of the

blade assembly should almost touch the bottom of the work bowl.

N.B. Always hold the blade assembly from the plastic stem. Never touch the blade

as it is very sharp.

N.B. Never place the blade on the motor shaft until the work bowl is locked into

place.

N.B. Always insert the blade in the work bowl before adding ingredients.

5. Add the food you wish to process.

6. Place the lid on the work bowl with the small tab to the left of the work bowl handle.

Turn the cover anticlockwise (toward handle) to securely lock.

N.B. The work bowl and lid must be tightly locked into the interlock device. Once

securely ﬁtted a loud click is heard. If both the work bowl and the lid are not

ﬁtted securely the processor may work intermittently.

7. To remove the lid, hold the housing base with your left hand, securely grip the handle

on the top of the lid and rotate it in a clockwise direction.

N.B. Make sure the motor has completely stopped and the blade has stopped moving

before removing the lid.

ATTENTION: The lid must always be removed before ﬁtting or removing the work

bowl from the base.

8. To remove the blade, gently pull up to disengage blade lock away from the motor

spindle holding the plastic stem.

9. To remove the work bowl, ﬁrstly ensure the lid has been removed. Hold the housing

base with your left hand, then hold the work bowl handle with your right hand and

turn in a clockwise direction to unlock and lift away from the housing base.

B. The dual blade

This appliance processes using a dual blade with a sharp, curved edge for chopping/mixing

and a ﬂat, blunter edge for grinding.

C. Control switches

To start operation, simply press one of the two switches and hold down for the desired

length of time.

Use the ‘Chop’ speed switch for chopping, puréeing and mixing food with the sharp edge

of the blade.

Use the ‘Grind’ speed switch for grinding and for chopping hard food with the blunt edge

of the blade.

A ‘pulse’ action is best when you are using the sharp edge of the blade. Two or three

pulses are often enough. Ensure you check the food frequently to prevent over processing.

Over processing will result in a watery paste instead of a ﬁne chop.

N.B. Due to the powerful motor provided with this unit, we recommend using one

hand to support the appliance during operation.

Continuous hold action is best when you are using the grind function. When you operate

the unit for more than 10 seconds, use a pulse action every 10 seconds or so to allow food

to drop to the bottom of the work bowl. This provides more consistent results.

IMPORTANT: Never operate the Mini Prep Pro continuously for longer than 20

seconds at a time.

D. Processing

1. Fit the work bowl and blade (refer to section A).

2. Place food in the work bowl. Ensure food is cut into small evenly sized pieces and the

work bowl is not overloaded.

3. Lock the lid into position.

4. Press the appropriate control switch i.e. ‘Chop’ or ‘Grind’, depending on the food you

are processing, for the required amount of time (refer to ‘Processing Techniques for

further details).

5. Wait for the blade to stop moving. Unplug the appliance and remove the lid &work

bowl.

N.B. The lid must always be removed before ﬁtting or removing the work bowl from

the base.

6. To remove liquids and sauces from bowl, simply pour ingredients out of work bowl. The

BladeLock System keeps blade safely in place.

7. To remove thicker ingredients from bowl, carefully remove the blade assembly, holding

it by the top of the plastic central stem. Gently pull up to disengage blade lock and

remove blade from the work bowl. Remove food with a spatula.

Occasionally food will stick to the sides of the work bowl as you process. If this happens,

stop the appliance. After the blade has stopped moving, remove the lid and use the

spatula to scrape the food from the sides of the work bowl back into the centre. Do not

use your hand.

You can also reverse the motor by alternating between ‘Chop’ and ‘Grind’. This will help to

combine the ingredients and clean the sides of the work bowl.

N.B. Do not operate without food contents in the work bowl.
